Go further: have them produce printed, human-readable, paper ballots that people voting can look at and verify that they're correct, and then feed those into optical scanners that tabulate, and maybe display the results of the scanning if you're paranoid about the scanner integrity.

They don't need to be connected if the companies that built them and sold them to the taxpayers were the ones that built in the flaws.
